Fred Schneider, '85, president of the Alum ni association, asked, "What peculiar significance has this day to Michigan State college alumni?" Prcxy Schnei der ably replied: "Homecoming has become tradi tional at all our American colleges and has been so closely associated with football that it is hard to tell which is the cause and which is the effect, if there is such a relationship. The charm of this beautiful campus in the fall, the association with old friends, the enthusiasm of the under graduates, the hospitality of the Col lege creates a setting for a real cele bration.

Page 8 Michigan State College Record CHANGED SPIRIT THRILLED HOMECOMING GUESTS • EMPHASIS of the "New Deal"' and a changed spirit pervaded the Campus and was the central theme for the 1934 Homecoming on November 3. There is of course, the unexpected meeting with an old classmate, name for gotten, or the warm handclasp of a favorite professor, the decorated fraternity and sorority houses, the noise, cheer, good will—all things which go toward making the event a cherished memory for those who enter into +he spirit of the occasion. For variety few Homecoming programs could match the one served to the Campus guests this year. Dinners, dances, parties, smokers, reunions (planned and impromptu), were all on the entertainment menu. Festivities started with a dance at the Union Friday evening while varsity alumni and sports followers enjoyed an evening of movies, danc ing and eating at the Lansing Athletic club. There Coach Bachman and Assistant Coach Tom King told the oldtimers through how it felt to "beat Michigan," to pull a team to mid-season without a defeat. Storyman Harold King, of Detroit, and Del Vandervcort, Lansing, master of cere monies, kept the revellers in high levity with their quick repartee and interpretations of well-known persons of gridiron fame. Among the outstanding alumni back for the evening were "Baldy" Spencer. "Dutch"' Miller, George "Carp" Julian. Ellis Ranney. Leon Exelby, George Parks, Blake Miller. "Stub" Clark, "Doc" Lundy, Whitney Wat- kins. Paul Smith, Wayne Scott, Martin Rummell, De Gay Ernst. Herbert Straight, and dozens of others. 0 SATURDAY, of course was the big day. Early morn ing found the grounds in tip top shape and fraternity and sorority houses gaily decorated. Long before noon home- comers and visitors crowded campus walks, filled the Union to overflowing and lines of parked cars led from every spot to the stadium. The Delta Sigma Phi fraternity won first honors with decorations consisting of a gigantic Spartan warrior spearing a Marquette player from his hilltop, a couple of African savages holding an announce ment of the events of the day, and a grouping of pillars in the Grecian style over the facade of the house. Over main gable, a Spartan warrior was depicted going out to battle in his chariot. The S. A. E.'s won second place featuring a large replica of the front page of the State News, with a football player crashing through the paper and a banner headline, "State Marches On". The Hes- perians and Alpha Chi's were close to the winners. In the confines of the alumni office the entire staff, with President C. Fred Schneider, '85, of Grand Rapids, were busy greeting sons and daughters from the far west and the far east who had heard of Coach Bachman's 1934 championship team and were eager to see-the boys in action. It was also a great day for Treasurer Plumb on membership collections. The game is history; a pleasant page of such if one may soliloquize. From the first drum beat of the band coming down the field and the strains of "The Star Span gled Banner" at the opening of the game, to the crack of the gun at the close of the 13 to 7 victory over Marquette, the afternoon was perfect. • OLD M. A. C! New M. S. C! Spectators, 16,000 strong, stood on their seats for those last three thrilling minutes when the Hilltoppers advanced to the 2-yard line. State held—then a bad pass from the Marquette center—an in tercepted pass by Colina and a 75-yard gallop down the field and the game ended. Weakened hearts were aroused to move down the stadium steps—and in a minute after the game ended some 1500 old grads assembled under class banners on the edge of the playing field. This new the venture of locating one's classmates and friends at stadium grounds was sponsored by the Alumni Associa tion, and it clicked. Old grads of 1880 mingled with grads of 1890, the tall grads of 1910 mingled with the short grads of a five-year period, the fat grads of 1920 mingled with the thin grads of 1930—all in a friendly spirit that character izes a Michigan State grad from the start. The Victory Homecoming of 1934 was over far too soon, so it seemed. Everyone had a good time, and when night closed over the day's activities thousands of alumni re turned home—to their cold desks, and to their cold posi tions in the business world, but with a warm fire in their hearts for returning the coming year.
